NEWINGTON -- An inflammatory letter sent to the American Radio Relay League
 headquarters brought in the state police emergency services unit and the
 Federal Bureau of Investigation Wednesday, officials said.
 Contained in the daily load of mail employees of the Newington-based radio
 operators' association picked up at the post office Wednesday morning was a
 letter, the text of which threatened government officials and implied a
 coming anthrax attack, Newington police Lt. Stephen Clark said.

 Despite the threats, officials said no foreign substances were found in the
 envelope. Postal inspector Hal Stevens said precautionary tests of the
 letter at the state lab in Meriden came up negative for anthrax. With the
 negative result, officials said there's no need to test the two ARRL
 employees who handled the day's mail, nor the postal workers who may have
 come into contact with the letter.

 The medium-sized envelope had no return address but was postmarked "San
 Antonio, Tex." ARRL vice president Dave Sumner said the envelope was
 generically addressed to "American radio," and the typed, unsigned letter
 inside it was addressed to Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge. Sumner
said
 the letter appeared to be a mass-produced copy meant for wide distribution.

 The letter's typed text contained "threatening remarks toward the
 government," Clark said, and contained the phrase "Allah is Great" a number
 of times.

 At one point the text read, "Your next breath could contain spores."

 Although it was clear the letter produced no danger, no one is taking any
 chances in the current climate.

 "There was absolutely no indications that it contained any substances that
 might be harmful, but it was worded in such a way that we thought we should
 tell the authorities," Sumner said.

 The fire department, state postal inspectors, the state police
 chemical-biological response unit, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
 were on scene Wednesday afternoon. Officers there contained employees in an
 area of the parking lot as a precaution while they disposed of the letter.

 Clark said the letter met the warning criteria for suspicious packages put
 out by the post office after the anthrax cases began appearing.

 With the thousands of letters ARRL receives everyday from all over the
 world, however, the task to identify those parcels is daunting.

 "This particular one was just one in the pile," Sumner said. "No one
noticed
 anything unusual about it. We'll try to be a little more attentive to
 prescreening.
